My gosh.

Yes.

I love to air drum.

I jar drum.

Well, it's a small little drum kit, like a little club kit or a big drum kit.

But that's all the reason to watch us on the live stream to

see

me air drumming in a way that makes you say, oh, you, you can play drums.

And I go,

no, I cannot.

This guy can really bang.

Well, it's like, you know, it's like the guy who plays air guitar and tries to throw in a bar chord.

I understand rhythms.

I can step back.

I can let the bass player have a moment.

Oh, my dear.

I am in radio park in Racine

Pete is in Christmastown, USA, up in Marinette, Wisconsin.

Christmas City,

Christmas City, because yes, Christmas City, USA in Marinette, Wisconsin, then all the way over in that South ish central part of Wisconsin.

And Madison is Mr. Dom Lee on the ones and twos at Civic Media HQ, no less.

That's important.

The kid, Dom Lee, Dom

Lee.

The kid.

Oh, what a kid.

But we have a great show for you this evening, folks.

Pete, what do we have on the docket for tonight for casual Friday?

Well, this is actually perfect programming, if I do say so ourselves, because it was all of us.

But no, we have the Wisconsin Supper Club chasers.

Jim and Michelle will be here tonight.

They have this great social media platform.

They go in the frequent supper clubs.

Not a

bad

gig, huh, Greg?

I mean, I wouldn't shake a stick at that.

And I'm getting ready to do some supper club impossibly this month.

And I know this.

If I go to a supper club, there's no chasing me.

I'm just standing there because I can't move.

I've eaten so much food, you can just catch me.

I'll be standing in front of the supper club going, why did I have that third piece of asparagus?

Third piece of asparagus.

I thought you're going to say, like, why did I get the 96er?

or something.

Oh, such a good movie.

Such a good movie.

I love it.

Oh, God, the great outdoors.

Maybe that will be a film for the movie club.

Who knows that out?

Oh,

we can do whatever we want.

Yeah.

But you

know what?

Yeah, there was kind of I love summer clubs.

I mean, I remember going up to my grandma's cottage up in Eagle River, Three Lakes when I was a kid and we would just swim all day.

Yeah.

And then we would go out and they always had like there was this place called

Oh, it was a night of village or something like that.

It was a hotel and they had a great restaurant.

You put like that Merc's cheese.

They would serve that

before

you

spread it salad bar Stakes burgers, whatever.

It's just it's a vibe and it's different than a regular restaurant.

There's this something about it.

I can't maybe they can explain it.

I can't

So like, when you're a kid, and this is no disrespect to salad bars either, but like, you know, I went to, I had the opportunity last year to go up North for Civic Media.

We did some shows up there and we went to a wonderful, we went to Butternut.

We went to Butternut Lake, this wonderful, and I'm blanking on the name of the, of the, I think it's just the Butternut Lodge.

And they had like a salad bar, like an old school salad bar there for your fixings.

And as a kid, you think to yourself,

what am I gonna do with all of this stuff?

And then as an adult, you're like lettuce, cheese, not scrambled, but crushed hard-boiled eggs.

Like, yeah.

What's the hard-boiled eggs?

Yeah, you've never seen a salad bar with it.

Oh, salad bar.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

So an egg salad, but minus the mayonnaise.

So it's just the, it's just the hard boiled eggs crushed into, in little pieces, but you're like, when you're a kid, oh my gosh, I could eat there for decades.

And as an adult, you're like, I'm probably going to have half a salad.

So

it's so great.

And then you

always

have like the half game room off

to,

off the lobby, like the kids can play there.

The

adults are hanging out after being in the sun all day.

Supper clubs are amazing and nobody does it better than Wisconsin.

So we're

very excited to

talk to you.

our new friends, uh, Jim and Michelle, the Wisconsin supper club chasers, they will be here.

And then Greg,

why

don't you, I'm going to give you the honors, buddy.

Tell people what we're doing in the second hour.

This is exciting.

In the second hour, we're going to be taking part in a brain rot quiz.

Now here's the thing is I didn't know what a brain rot quiz was because I thought that was like a, is that a, uh, like a.

I was going to say, I'm going to, I have a question for you, but I'm not going to ask it until the second hour.

Cause this brings up a conversation about supper clubs, but go on,

No, I was just saying, there are, there is a place locally I go to called little river on Friday nights.

They have the fish fry and all that kind of stuff, but we're going there for brunch on Easter.

So I.

I'm not going there tonight.

It's not every week thing, but now is

It's more of a country club with a supper club.

Oh,

we're not members.

It's not it's not that you don't have to be a member like anybody

in

golf there.

Anybody can eat there.

It's not and it's not crazy expensive.

It's just it's just a good hot meal at a fair price, Greg.

We should bring that.

A good hot meal at a fair price.

Yeah.

Welcome to, what's the place called again?

Welcome to Little River Country Club.

A good hot meal at a fair price.

All are welcome.

All are welcome.

Great service too.

Free

merch goes a long way too.

Free merch cheese when you

come in.

They don't have it.

Do they still need cheese?

Yes, of course they do.

What kind of

question is

that?

What kind of question

is that?

You know what, cheese rep?

No, but you are a news fan, so it's time to get to our top three stories of

the day.

Let's do it.

All right.

The first big story.

I'm going to let you take this one because I know it infuriated you when you saw the headline.

Oh, man.

When I saw the headline, I thought at first it had to be fake.

I'm talking about, of course, most of you or some of you probably heard about this.

I saw it on NBC News.

Tiger Woods was calling after he rolled his car and endangered the lives of others second time by the way Yes, exactly Second and he just you know, he's making a phone call the cops come up they show up and he says I'm talking to the president to the cops Yeah, and that's real that happened He's already one of the biggest celebrities in the sports world, but

he

has to drop the president's name He didn't even say the name.

He just said the president to the cop

And the cop didn't really back off, which I like, but I don't think I liked Tiger Woods before this, but I didn't know enough about him.

He's a complete tool now.

I mean,

so it's just, please

go go away.

It didn't stop them.

There's a picture on this story on CNBC.com of him being arrested in front of the camera.

And he's kind of like the, the position of his body, he's got his arms behind his back in handcuffed and he's looking off like almost as if, uh, like they can, they can take my, they can take my, my hands, but they'll never take my opioid pills.

Cause he was high.

He was absolutely high when he got pulled over.

They said that he was, you know, he was sweating profusely.

He was bloodshot and glassy eyed.

He was sweating profusely, extremely dilated pupils.

And this is the second time he's been involved.

Well, third time, if you include his ex-wife and the golf club, he's

been

involved in a car incident.

But to me, like, I didn't like him much to begin with, but man, and I didn't know this either.

He's dating Don Jr.'

's ex-wife.

That's so weird.

Yeah, I just, you know, it's sort of like, I'm glad they handcuffed Pete Hegseth will probably fire the cops now.

But I just, I don't know.

I want him because nothing's going to happen.

No, I mean, he's already a celebrity, but now he's got, you know, Trump's going to pardon him for future crimes.

He hasn't even committed yet, probably, even though he was driving a weapon and could have hurt other people.

And he says, quote, I feel so badly there is

He's got some... Oh, no, no, no.

This is what Trump said about him.

I feel so badly.

He's got some difficulties.

There was an accident and that's all I know.

Don't talk about this, dude, man.

And Woods is stepping away from golf now to work on his mental health.

Of course.

Just step away forever because you have never worked on it.

This is the second time.

Get help, dude, and stop relying on Daddy Trump to impress people.

Nobody cares.

Yeah, that was a shocker.

All right.

This is

not like with Beachwabba and Greg Bach.

When we come back, folks, we're gonna tell you the betting lines of the Final Four games.

We'll talk a little baseball that's coming up next on our second big story.

It's Nightlight with Pete Schwabba and Greg Bach on the Civic Media Network.

That's the Bo Deans, baby.

Nicely done, Dom.

Love that song.

Dreams.

Great tune.

Welcome back to Nightlight.

I'm Pete Schwabba, sitting downstate for me is Greg Bach and working the board, producing the show from Madison, Dom Lee.

Coming up, folks, after the news at the bottom of the hour, the Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers will be here talking to us about their outstanding social media platform, Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers.

That's what they do.

They go to as many Supper Clubs as they can.

And they write about it so we can cherry pick which supper clubs we want to go to, Greg.

See, this is one of the downfalls of not being together, is that they could bring in treats.

Be like, here, try some steak from this place.

Here, try some Merck's cheese from this place.

I know.

They were going to.

When I first talked to them three months ago, they were going to come into the studio.

That would have been a blast.

Come

on.

Work it out.

They can fed X-meats and

food.

Yeah, exactly.

It's great to talk

about this.

It's casual Friday.

We're having a good time here.

Let's get back to the top three stories.

The

second big story.

All right, so tomorrow is the final four ladies and gentlemen There's four teams left in the uns in the NCAA tournament.

I don't know how your brackets are doing mine were toast weekend one I'm not gonna win any money, but I don't care.

I still love the tournament We'll see if the NIL keeps affecting there aren't quite as many upsets the last couple years someone pointed out to me So that could be because of NIL money What is it

but why would NIL money?

Well, what does that do with it?

the powerhouses are even more powerful and less susceptible to upset, I guess.

Gotcha.

So it'll be interesting because yeah, you've got two one seeds.

You've got Michigan playing Arizona and then you've got Illinois in Yukon.

Illinois is a three seed.

Yukon is a two seed.

So I'm excited.

I think the games will be good.

I'm excited for the championship game Monday night.

Love the NCAA tournament.

Two questions.

Can I ask

two more

questions?

First of all, how can you have two one seeds when they're... Okay, that just feels like there can only be one one seed.

There's

one overall seed and that's Michigan, but then there's four divisions.

There's four regions.

Each one has a number one seed.

Follow-up question.

Yeah.

Why do they call it the final four when it happens next year then too?

This isn't the final.

It's the final for this year, the final four for now.

It

just feels like

false advertising to me.

I mean, final four.

No, it's not.

Like that's, it's,

no, we'll

have it next.

Will he be here next year having the same conversation?

Pete's brackets will be trash.

And we'll

be saying the final,

I mean, we'll say the final four again.

I'll be like, I asked this question last year.

No, but these are the actual final four teams.

The whole tournament isn't called the final four.

It's the NCAA tournament, the big dance or whatever you want to call it, but this weekend, the third weekend is the final four.

There are four teams left.

They are the final four.

So we'll see what

happens.

I'm never going to ask a question to be funny again, ever.

never listen I'm gonna I'm gonna give you

the I'm supposed to be doing comedy tonight and I'm

just

in my head oh my god I'm not funny

this is a warm-up don't worry about it you're in the bullpen right now speaking of the bullpen what you got to be thrilled with your Brewers dude there's a lot of sports going on this week oh addition to some great basketball

there's tons of sport happening right now the Brewers are doing fantastic there are five in one right now and I think it's funny because I posted something on Facebook earlier about the fact that various news

people or haters are saying, they're like being accused of cheating.

The brewers are being accused of cheating cause they're five in one.

And somebody, yeah, I know it's very funny, but I think it's very funny that someone wrote this.

It was kind of like a, it was a very Wisconsin response to the, the post cause he says the brewers drafted and developed the brewers have a great manager that the players love.

The brewers are a good team and have kept their core players for a few years in a row.

The brewers are five in one against two terrible teams.

I'm like,

Thank you.

That didn't, I don't feel like that helped.

I don't feel like you're on my team at all in the one, but the Brewers are doing great.

They, they're, they're playing Kansas city tonight and they're in Kansas city this evening.

It's going to be great.

And I'm actually, like I said, I'm doing comedy tonight and the headliner is a huge Royals fan.

So I guess we'll have to just not talk about things for a while.

But yeah, I'm, I'm, I love baseball.

I love baseball.

I'm so happy it's back and

It's definitely a better start than last.

The Brewers did great last season.

There was not a lot of great expectations for them.

But last year in their beginning, they were 0 and 4.

And they got like walloped by the Yankees with those tornado bats they were using last year.

And they like beat them like 20 to 2 in the second game.

But baseball's back.

The Brewers are doing great.

I have hope for my guys.

I love Pat Murphy.

And yeah, I'm just I'm looking forward to it.

And hopefully going to be getting into a game sooner than later, please, Mike.

Goodness

gracious.

And I know it's early, but yeah, like we were talking about before the show, Greg, every team in that division is 500 or better.

So it certainly that division will should be really competitive and fun to watch this year.

I hope so, too.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

All right.

I think we're time.

We're ready for our third big story.

All

right.

The third big story.

So not so much casual Friday, but more of just like a what's happening right now

So let

yesterday we talked about this the fact that now former US Attorney Attorney General Pam Bondi was let go relocated fired However, you want to see begged for her job in the Oval Office.

I don't know how you want to put that one But apparently according to MS now and this picture has been circulating her picture has already been taken off the wall Which isn't surprising when they change leadership

They do that.

But someone snapped a photo and sent it to MSNOW of Pam Bondi's photograph in the trash.

And I just was like, dang, they're not sentimental about anything over there.

They're throwing away a perfectly good frame.

That's what's going to be about the whole now.

I have a feeling somebody did that because she wasn't very popular with the rank and file of the FBI.

And somebody probably did that and took a picture and posted it to get back at her.

You know, she mishandled the Epstein files.

Her whole time there was kind of a dream

wreck.

She was the Florida Attorney General while the whole thing was going on with Epstein the first place.

So it's like, you know, she's not... Prison.

How about prison?

Let's talk about that next week, though.

This is casual Friday.

And casual

Friday.

We got enough political talk.

We have our guests coming up next.

And I want to get to that talk now because that is the important thing we're discussing.

And our question of the night goes hand in hand with our next guests who are very excited to have Jim and Michelle from the Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers there coming by after the news.

And our question of the night is, what is your favorite food and drink order at a supper club?

Let us know.

If folks say 557524842, you can text us on the app.

Or if you're watching the radio on the stream, drop us a stream comment and be part of the show.

And if you have a question for Jim and Michelle, that's fine too.

They're coming up next.

It's Pete Schwabba and Greg Bach and Nightlight on the Civic Media Network.

Little

casual Chris Isaac there on your casual Friday here at Nightlight.

I'm Pete Schwabba sitting across the stage from Greg Bach.

Happy Friday everybody.

Be part of the fun.

What is your favorite or your perfect?

Supper club order food and drink, please.

This is a great question because our next guests That's their that's their racket.

That's their game.

They Visit as many supper clubs as they can they've been to over 200 Wow, and they have a platform called Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers, so it I mean we love supper clubs, and we're yes, that's our thing here in Wisconsin, right?

And we've other things too, but that's a biggie

So we're going to welcome them now to talk about supper clubs.

Jim and Michelle from Wisconsin supper club chasers.

Welcome you guys.

Thanks for

having us.

Yeah.

Oh, it's our pleasure.

Um, all right.

So I know you guys, you told me you're in a hotel because you're on a tour, I assume right now where you're checking out a new supper club as we speak or later tonight.

Where are you?

And tell us how you came up with this idea.

So after traveling all 50 states together on April 15th of 2022, we were visiting our 57th supper club together.

And Michelle said, let's start a page on Facebook and mostly to keep track of the places that we then we were going.

And when we were traveling all 50 states, I used to enjoy writing about different.

food places that we went to all across the country.

But we kind of decided to focus in on Wisconsin.

of supper clubs.

We love visiting supper clubs.

And now we've been to, well, we were at our 220th before we sat down to talk with you.

And actually, we don't do this very often, but we're also going to head to our 221st after we get off the show.

So we're in two today.

Two in one night?

Two in one night that we haven't been to.

So yeah, but we do some of them.

We've been to some of the supper clubs literally hundreds of times.

We visit supper clubs probably about three to five times a week.

Oh my gosh.

So we get out pretty often and yeah, it's been fun.

We created also, we call it guide, but it's virtually a coupon book for supper clubs a couple of years ago and now we're in our second version.

And it's something that we sell.

We call it the Wisconsin supper club dining destinations guide.

And we mostly sell it at venturewisconsin.com, but that guide has helped us.

be able to continue to do what we do.

When we go to most supper clubs, we pay our own way.

So we pay for our own travel, we pay for our own meals.

There are supper clubs though that do offer us.

you know, meals, you know, occasionally, but it's more of a rare occasion.

But get to be more and more, you know, with 50, over 57,000 followers on Facebook, we get millions of views a month.

So a lot of people are interested in what we're doing.

And it's really interesting.

I mean, I've been traveling sometimes in

I'll be at a rest stop and somebody will say, hey, you're the guy.

I've actually been in a quick trip restroom and a guy.

I wasn't in the restroom, but I was in the restroom, if you know what I mean.

And a gentleman said, hey, you're the guy.

I just saw that you were at, or where are you heading?

people are interested a lady last night when we were out she said uh every every night i uh

I curl up in bed and read your posts.

I'm like, well, that's interesting.

Wow.

People are just experiencing the two of you in very unique places, it might

seem.

Sure.

But it is fun.

It's fun.

We enjoy it.

And you know, we keep everything that we do fun and positive.

So everything

I write is

100% positive.

I don't allow any negativity.

I allow people to comment.

But unfortunately, if there's any negative comments,

Um, I, I, you know, I encourage people to take that up with the management, you know, I'm

your own

privately, you know,

not, not,

not, not out there on social media.

So, but, uh, yeah, it's a lot of fun.

So supper clubs are, I mean, it's not a uniquely Wisconsin thing, but it's so well loved here.

We, we, I mean, people, when you talk to Wisconsinites and those who are visiting, we treat supper clubs with a reverence and a tradition.

And, and you said that, you know, you had already gone to

quite a few dozen supper clubs at the point where you decided to make this, you know, a, you know, I don't want to say a job, but like you decided to put your, your experiences out to the world for people to enjoy.

What is it about supper clubs for the two of you that makes it so exciting that you've turned this into a, you know, something that you put your passion into plus, you know, going to so many a week.

I mean, you have to, there's something about it that you have to really enjoy.

Yeah, I mean, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, I live to eat and don't eat to live.

Same brother, same brother.

Is that true?

Yeah.

So I

do enjoy, do enjoy eating and we do enjoy, you know, our typical supper club experience.

We'll start out at the bar,

and

usually for an hour or so, we'll have a couple of cocktails, we'll move to a table.

Sometimes go back to the bar, but rarely.

Some people do that, that's part of their supper club experience.

But we enjoy all food, but probably in the big picture of it all, we enjoy the people.

We enjoy the people that love.

you know the experience like we love the experience and you know and there's always different experiences I mean sometimes sometimes it is about the food other times it's about the ambience but but it's always about the people so it's fun fun to to enjoy other people's company we've gotten to know a lot of owners they they see what we're doing is really helpful to

all supper clubs, but the places that we go especially, I mean, there's posts that I make that, you know, hundreds of thousands of people see.

So it's really kind of interesting and fun.

fun, but we really enjoy it.

I mean, and Michelle makes some really great videos.

I'm not a videographer.

She's gotten better and better at it, but she actually also creates, she's a musician by trade.

So she's a professional piano player and singer, and she's actually

uh, you know, we used to play with schools and she's done, uh, music out where she, she did like the lobby bar at the grand Geneva, which

used to

be the playboy club and yeah.

Gosh.

Yeah, but she's created a lot of the music now that we're using on our videos.

That's fantastic.

She's created

some supper club songs and we've done a lot of fun things.

We've created some different clothing with different logos and we've done pop-up stores with that.

We've created t-shirts that have all the supper clubs on back.

of the T-shirt.

And on the front, it'll say like Wisconsin supper clubs, how many have you been to?

And, you know, we, we then create, you know, a fun scenario where people are able to go on the, you know, look at the back of the shirt and I've been to that one, that one, that one, and that one, you know,

they're following you around.

So they,

it's really fun.

Jim and Michelle are the Wisconsin supper club chasers.

They're joining us tonight on nightlight for a few minutes.

We're talking to them about their really cool platform.

Check them out there on Facebook, Instagram, and they've been over 200 supper clubs and we're talking to them about their experiences.

You know, what do good supper clubs do right?

And what do, if there are bad supper clubs, what don't they do right?

You don't have to name any, but have you, the ones that are successful, how are they doing that?

Is there a common thread?

Um, you know, there there probably is I mean good food is is probably very key to a busy supper club.

Um

People ask all the time, don't you have bad experiences?

Because I don't talk about it.

I just choose not to talk about those experiences.

We've had bad meals, bad service.

It happens occasionally.

But we try to overlook that.

We're all humans and we all have scenarios where we might not have had a very good day.

Something stayed on the grill too long for the chef and that kind of stuff.

you know, we try to minimize that it happens.

But yeah, good food, good cocktails, you know, a nice bar where there's a lot of seating helps.

But we've been to a lot of places where they have, you know, a small bar and it's still a lot of fun.

Um, you know, some, some, you know, dining rooms are huge.

Some are small and, you know, we, some of those are, are as popular as others, you know, bigger or smaller.

So size doesn't matter, but, you know, I think good food, uh, you know, and, and just owners that care help a lot too.

I mean, uh, a lot of times the owners are involved in a supper club.

So they're, they're, they're, um,

being, you know, being part of the whole thing.

Uh, he might be the bartender and she might be the chef or vice versa.

You know, they, they, they have some, some aspect of the business they're doing something.

So it's fun.

There has been a lot of, so like, you know, growing up, there's, you know, there's supper clubs.

I can think of we went to when I was, when I was a kid, but there's been a revival in the past few years of the supper club.

decor, mystique, the experience.

I mean, it feels like, you know, do you feel like those places are, do you feel like those places are trying?

to replicate the old school look or, and, and, or do you think they're paying tribute essentially?

Cause like, I see some of them like, this just looks like you're trying to look like a supper club while charging very, very expensive prices.

But then there are places out there saying, I just want to create what I went to with my parents and grandparents as a kid.

I mean, I feel like there's, it's a resurgence of the love of supper clubs with new locations opening up.

Yeah, there, there, there are new locations opening up almost even all the time next week.

we'll be visiting a place called the Conroy Modern Stock Club in Milwaukee.

That's a brand new one.

They asked us to come out and that you know that's one of the examples of of a supper club that asked us to come in and they'll take care of you know our meals because they'll know that you know we're going to share about their place and you know when we look at their menu it looks like they're more of

what we would call a modern supper club,

a

lot of these traditional supper clubs.

Fortunately, I don't try to find a place that has the best prices.

I'm fortunate that I can visit them regardless.

And in some respects, you get what you pay for.

And then other times, we've found places that might charge more than

You would think they should be you know, but that's you know, I try to overlook those kind of things and and look at the positive, you know, you know the fun Area that they created the culture they've created and you know, it's a lot of fun and there's there's several clubs that we've been to that are over a hundred years old or you know in the fourth fourth generation of family that's own it's it's actually

a lot of fun to share with those people.

They've got crazy history that goes back to maybe mobsters,

flying the licker, throwing a

fish and kind

of stuff.

That's so great.

Our guests are Jim and Michelle from the Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers.

Follow them on various social media platforms.

Monica

and Mount Horeb says definitely a salad bar with the packaged crackers, dry breadsticks, and cheese bread, a grasshopper, and possibly...

I can't read a pasta dish.

So when we come back, I'm gonna ask Jim and Michelle what their favorite supper club meal is and we'll do, they can answer our question of the night.

That's coming up next after this very short break.

Don't go anywhere.

This is Pete Schwabba and Greg Bach and Night Light.

Welcome

back.

This is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba and Greg Bach.

I'm in Christmas City, USA, Marinette, Wisconsin.

Greg is in Radio Park in Racine and Dom is holding down the fort.

in Madison.

It's great to have you with us tonight on this Friday, a casual Friday here on Nightlight.

And we have to tell you guys that the Brewer's Game has been postponed.

Greg, I'm sorry.

I know that's a big deal for

you.

I was going to go to Kansas City tonight.

Now I'm very upset.

My plane ticket is useless at this point.

What am I going to go for?

Like the sun and the fun?

My goodness.

You have an excuse not to go now because the trailer is

a hassle.

All right, so our guests at the moment are Jim and Michelle.

They are the Wisconsin Supper Club chasers.

They're joining us now from a hotel room somewhere in Wisconsin.

We won't say where, but they are, they've already been to a Supper Club today.

They're going out to another one tonight.

That is dedication.

I want to ask you guys, our question of the night is what is your perfect Supper Club meal?

Like what do you typically order?

Or what is the quintessential Supper Club meal and

cocktail?

I think a lot of people would say fish fry on Friday, prime rib on Saturday, broasted chicken on Sunday, and some type of steak, any of those days or other days of the week.

Fortunately, we love all food.

except that I always used the saying, my mom loves liver and I don't care for it.

But which one of us is right, which is why I keep the page positive and don't say that I know better than what you know is what you like.

But fortunately, we eat a lot of different foods when we're at supper clubs.

um you know we'll we'll enjoy a filet or uh you know rib eye um and probably prefer a filet but that's not you know for everybody um but we'll do we'll do fish fry on Fridays but you know they may have a special dish like a pasta dish or you know sometimes some of the supper clubs might have a an Italian type thing but uh you know we

We'll eat all different foods.

And I think that's part of the attraction to the page is a lot of people come to the page.

They're not going to always see us eating primary up every night.

And I heard your caller called in and talked about a salad bar.

Of course, I love a salad bar

as much as

anybody does, but it doesn't necessarily in the world of supper clubs today define a supper club as to whether they have a salad bar or not.

Usually, they at least have a super salad choice, but it's nice if they have a super and salad bar.

It's kind of nice.

Raleigh Tray is a big one.

People love to get a

or relish tray with their meal.

I would say I do as well, but not every supper club serves those.

Some of them have gotten away from them.

You know, there were some issues with salad bars and relish trays and some other things, you know, through COVID and whatnot.

But, you know, our perfect meal is probably every meal.

I mean, it's really hard.

I love that.

I know.

But you know what we try to do?

We try to order different things.

So I'll

order one thing short or something else.

If I get soup, she'll get salad.

We try to ask if they have maybe a homemade dressing, if it's not a salad bar.

So we try to get different things.

We'll get an appetizer.

We'll get dessert sometimes.

I was on track last a bunch of supper clubs that I've been to where we ordered three meals and even one time four meals.

Just

so that we can show off a lot of the different food that's at a place.

We have a lot of fun when we go.

And, you know, and I'll joke around and say, don't judge me.

It's your fault because you guys want to see, you know, all these different groups this place serves.

So, you

know, I want to join this Wisconsin supper club.

Yeah, we hear that a lot.

Yeah, we hear that a lot.

And I always say, you know, come and finance us and we'll be happy to.

Yeah, we gotta get a big corporate sponsor, you know, brought to you by whatever.

We

also live on our leftovers.

We do, yeah.

We never, we never waste

anything

from a couple of nights ago.

We had a ribeye and this morning she, she put it together with some eggs and some roasted vegetables and fresh roasted vegetables and turned it into a whole

another, you know, a

nice breakfast this morning.

Can we never waste anything?

That's great.

Pete, I know you wanted to ask Michelle a question before we got out of here.

We have just like two more minutes left.

But Pete, go ahead and ask a question.

Yeah, Michelle, you're a musician.

You have a music background.

I know you said you do or Jim said you do some of the music for the videos.

What music do you like to hear when you enter a supper club?

And what do you think complements a supper club when you're thinking music?

Definitely the rap peck music is what I'm excited about when they have it, and I'm really excited if there's live music.

That's what I want to hear.

You

don't

get that a lot, but when there is live music, I make sure we sit by it.

The last time I went to the Hobnob in Pleasant Prairie, there was a three-piece jazz trio, and it just makes everything better.

We were there when you were there,

maybe.

It's

such a good vibe.

Yes, absolutely.

I totally agree with you.

That's the perfect answer.

I thought you were going to say, like, jazz piano, which I like too, but the rat pack, the crooners, that's fantastic.

It's got to be the

crooners.

If you guys are ever in Marinette at Christmas City, USA, let me know.

I'll come out on me.

I'll buy you a piece of cheesecake.

All

right.

And we'll have three fourths,

but

it's on me.

All right.

You guys, this was so much fun.

Thank you so much.

Please come back.

I'm sorry we couldn't make this happen in studio, but bear with us.

We'll have you back again and maybe we'll make it a bigger event.

When you get

a studio together, definitely.

Thank

you.

We'll come

back.

Yeah, we'll come back.

Maybe enjoy some old fashions or something together on the air.

That's a great idea.

We had me at Old Fashions.

Perfect.

Awesome.

I love it.

Safe travels, you guys, and keep us posted, and we'll do this again soon.

Thanks so much.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have a good

night.

All right.

Jim and Michelle, give them a follow at the Wisconsin Supper Club Chasers.

I was looking at their posts earlier, and it's so much fun just to see.

You feel like you're in a supper club.

It's great.

The Brewer's Game has been postponed for this evening.

It has been rained out.

They will play a double header tomorrow, 1235 and 535.

Those will be the broadcast start times here on Civic Media.

We are a Brewer's Network.

You cannot listen to the Brewer's Game on the app, though.

Cannot do that.

So you have to listen to it on terrestrial old school radio.

It'll be on WBZH WCQM WISS WJMS WRCE and WRJN.

If you want to listen to the Brewers game, a double header.

Oh, that's a lot of baseball for one day, but the Brewers game has been rained out.

Unfortunately, so that'll make my night easier with the headliner who is a Kansas City Royal fan.

So.

Greg is doing stand-up tonight ladies and gentlemen.

I am doing stand-up in a place in America that I'll just tell you I'll be an Oshkosh at a place called the fifth ward tonight 9

p.m.

So I'll be a feature I'll be like third on the list be really really fun to see some see Get on the road again for even but a moment do 15 minutes and get money enough to fill my gas tank

The feature spot which is weird because they call

they used to call you the middle act or the featured act.

And you'd think feature would mean headliner, but it doesn't.

Headliner means headliner, but that feature spot, Greg, I used to love.

25 minutes.

That's the sweet spot.

Just 25 minutes.

You don't, no one's there to see you.

You

get paid.

You get to do 25 minutes.

And if you're good, they love it.

If they don't like it, they don't care because they're going to go talk to the headliner anyways.

The thing I always hated.

Whether it was me on stage or being at the show watching it happen is when someone would say, you know, you're my favorite.

I didn't like the other two.

It's like, what are you doing?

Those are my friends you're

talking about.

You

don't know to pay a compliment, but I'll talk more about that on Monday.

If we want to talk about my standup show tonight, but yeah,

we want notes, dude,

but let's get back to the show.

We are in hour number two.

Don't

Don't go anywhere because in just a little bit, we'll be taking a brain rock quiz that has been put together by Mr. Dom Lee himself to see if Pete Schwabba and myself know the vernacular of the youth.

I have to say, I don't really even understand this quiz still.

I just know I'm supposed to know what words mean and that's all I know about it.

Is it multiple choice Tom?

It's not multiple choice.

You know what?

What we can do is you guys can combine forces and you guys can do the quiz together.

I think that might never

come out.

No, I'm not I didn't mean to make you I was just honestly I'm up for whatever and

I was

just saying I'm putting myself at the mercy of the court because I don't know I've never heard of these brain rockers.

We're about to find

out.

And then of course we wrap up everything with the nightcap where we find out we talk about what we've learned review and read through some text messages that got past us But speaking of text messages, let's get back to the question of the night Dom play the music.

Let's talk about the question question question question question question question

question This question

The question of the night is what is your supper club dinner and drink order call or text eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic Leave a comment on that live stream again.

We are on Facebook YouTube and the platform We still call Twitter or get in touch with us via the civic media app

Pete yeah, it's a great question and I really enjoyed Jim and Michelle.

Let's let's start with our cell I do have to say this is kind of funny.

We did have a

Someone on the text line jewel mm-hmm said a relish tray is mandatory at a supper club Yeah, I mean he's having fun with it, but I know what he means yet that you do picture that at a supper club

I do I mean that's that's I mean that's a thing too is like They said so if you didn't if you're just joining us now we talked to Jim Jim and Michelle who are the Wisconsin supper club chasers They are on Facebook.

They are on Instagram.

They go to supper clubs I mean multiple times a day we found out they were going to

After

they got off

the air with us, they were going to their second one for the afternoon evening.

So you can find out more from them.

I had no idea that many were in Wisconsin.

It makes me, it begs the question for me then.

And I, and I don't like, and I didn't ask this question because I didn't want it to sound insulting to their intelligence, to what they're doing, but it feels like then there's a loose definition of what a supper club might be then.

Because to me, my thoughts of a supper club are like, yeah, it's, it's

It's Midwest fancy in a way where it's, it's not hoity-toity, but you better wear a tie and there will be a relish tray and dad's going to have a cocktail because you kids have been a lot this week.

You know, like.

Do you think they're still like that with the tie?

I

think

society is just casual.

No, no, no You don't have to but like to me if I'm going to a supper club I'm gonna dress up a little bit doesn't have to be a tuxedo sewer tie It can be a nice dress shirt would be a sport coat But I want to you know, I don't go to them often one of my Jim and Michelle from Wisconsin supper club chasers I don't go to them often so I want to enjoy the entire experience because that's cuz there's one thing there's like going out to dinner But a supper club is like a conversation starter

Because people, especially in Wisconsin, will go, ooh, where?

What did you have?

What did you wear?

What did it look like?

Was there live music?

You know, it's a big deal.

So I didn't, yeah, again, I didn't realize there were that many.

And I would love to talk to them again, maybe some like deep dive breakdowns on a few, because that would be really cool.

Yeah, I think they were, the 220 was all over though, right?

That wasn't just in Wisconsin, I think.

Okay.

I thought they were Wisconsin only cause they are the Wisconsin supper club chasers, but Hey, Dom, can you do me a favor?

I'm looking at

him.

He's already on it.

That's, that's our radar right there.

Dominic AKA radar.

So okay, Pete, what is your supper club dinner and drink order?

All right.

So I did answer this on social media on Facebook and thank you for all your responses.

Everybody on social media will read those in just a moment, but I said steak or walleye.

I'm not a huge steak guy.

Like a steak, if it's done right, seasoned right is, I do like it.

But it's something about lemon and walleye and tartar sauce or something.

It just makes me feel like supper club summer, spending the day swimming all day.

So I'll probably lean toward walleye, some kind of potato.

And I love, love, love the salad bar.

I'll go back two or three times at the salad bar and love that merch cheese.

And then my cocktail.

Even though I don't drink anymore.

We

need to

get sponsored by Merck's cheese.

Honestly, has that product been mentioned more than three times in an hour anywhere else in the world?
